Chapter III: Newest member
Four people walked towards Kanesa, Kagome and Kaede; two men, one woman and a child. One of the men had black hair, tied back in a small pony tail, and was dressed in dark blue and purple robes, a purple cloth and beads wrapped around his right hand, and carrying a golden staff with ringlets on the top. The other man had long silver hair with two dog ears poking out on top. He was dressed in a red clothes and a sword was tied to his hip. The woman had long black hair and was dressed in a white top and a long green skirt; she also carried an enormous boomerang on her back. There was a small child on her shoulder. He had orange hair and small pointed ears.
They all walked over to the three near the well. "Nice to see you again Kagome, we missed you" the woman said, smiling. The child jumped from her shoulder to Kagome's arms.
The silver-haired man looked over at Kanesa. He had a stern look on his face, and his arms were crossed, "Hey, Kagome, who's this? She looks kinda like you… smells like you too"
Kanesa stood by her sister's side, "Guys, I'd like to introduce you to my older sister, Kanesa. We found out that she has powers just like mine, so she can travel in-between my world and this one"
Kanesa rubbed her upper arm, shy and nervously, "N-nice to meet you all" she muttered.
Kagome put her arm around her, "Kanesa, these are my friends I told you about, those two over there, that's Miroku the monk, and Sango the demon slayer" They smiled, and waved.
"And this one," Kagome said, pointing to the silver-haired man, "is Inuyasha, the half-demon I told you about"
Kanesa looked at her sister, then stared at Inuyasha, and walked up to him, staring at his head. Inuyasha got nervous, "What? What's the matter?" he asked wearily.
Kanesa grabbed his ears and rubbed them, "These things are adorable! Are they real?" she laughed.
The others laughed as well as Inuyasha pulled his head away from Kanesa, rubbing his ears, "Yes, they're real"
The young boy jumped from Kagome's arms to Kanesa's shoulder, "And my name's Shippo!" he shouted. Kanesa smiled, rubbing his orange head.
"Kagome told me all about you, you're so adorable!" she said. Shippo smiled.
Miroku smiled, "My, my Kagome, beauty must run in your family!" he said as he stepped up to Kanesa, grabbed her hand and put his face right up to hers.
"Please, Ms. Kanesa, woul you do me the honor, of bearing my children?" he asked.
Kanesa froze, half smiling, half mortified. Luckily, Sango saved her, by banging the monk's head with her boomerang. Shippo crawled down to Kanesa's ear as Miroku released her hand, "No offense Kanesa, but Miroku does that to every pretty girl he sees"
Kanesa laughed, "I know, Kagome warned me that he might do that, but I didn't think he'd do it two seconds after I met him!" she laughed.
Inuyasha grunted as he leaned next to a nearby tree, "That lecherous monk will never learn"
They all returned to the village and sat in Kaede's hut. Kanesa looked around at the group, "So, if you don't mind me asking, why are you all traveling together, besides the fact that you're all looking for the jewel shards?"
Everyone got a solemn face. Sango closed her eyes, and Miroku grabbed his wrist of his clothed hand. "We're after a demon, an evil demon named Naraku" Inuyasha said finally.
They all talked about who Naraku was, and how he had ruined each of their lives: Miroku's entire family of men cursed with the wind tunnel that would eventually bring about his own death, Sango's entire village was killed and that Naraku was controlling her younger brother, Kohaku, and Inuyasha's life was ruined because of Naraku's shape shifting, and taking the form of Kikyo, and turning himself and Kikyo against each other; two people who cared deeply for one another.
After what she had heard, Kanesa couldn't take it anymore, she stood up, "That heartless bastard!" she shouted.
Everyone looked up at her. She looked back at them, "Please, I can help you guys! I can help you beat that bastard!"
Inuyasha grunted again, "Thanks for the offer, but this is serious stuff, I'm not sure you could be of any help"
Kagome stood up to join her sister at her side, "No, Inuyasha, my sister can really help up!" She's the fourth best fighter in my world. She's a ninth degree black belt, and can kick some major butt!"
Inuyasha looked up at Kanesa, then grunted again, standing up, "All right, get your things, we're leaving today"
Kagome and Kanesa jumped in the air. Shippo and Sango joined them, shouted for joy, smiling and laughing. Miroku stood walked over to Inuyasha, "Don't get me wrong Inuyasha, I'm over-ecstatic that Kanesa will be joining us, but are you sure that she can help?"
Inuyasha looked over at him, "Well, she can sense the jewel shards, she probably has Kagome's other powers too, and one more person helping wouldn't hurt"
Kanesa and Kagome returned to their world to get Kanesa her things, her staff, some more medical supplies and some food. They told their mother where she was going, and because she was so used to Kagome going, she was more at ease, knowing her big sister would be there to protect her.
They started out on their jouney. Sango, Kagome and Shippo rode on Kirara, as Miroku and Inuyasha ran in front of them. Inuyasha knew right away that he had made a good decision letting Kanesa join them; her speed was proof enough, she was able to keep up with Inuyasha and Miroku as they ran. They encountered weak demons on their way, and Kanesa was able to hold her own.
After about two hours into their journey when they took a break. The stopped at a stream, built a fire and caught some fish. Kanesa wandered over to the stream, cupped her hands into the water, and splashed her face; Kagome joined her. She knelt at her side, "How are you liking it so far?" she asked,
Kanesa smiled at her, "It's amazing! To think, you've actually been living a more exciting life than me, Miss Goody-too-shoes"
The sisters laughed, but a feeling they both had made them stop suddenly. They both stood up and looked around. The others around the fire noticed the girls' sudden upstart, "What's the matter girls?" Miroku asked.
The sisters looked at each other, "You feel that?" Kanesa asked.
Kagome nodded, "Yeah, it's not too far away"
"What is it?" Sango asked, as she and Miroku stood, readying their weapons.
Kanesa looked over at them, "We feel some jewel shards coming this way, coming in fast too"
Inuyasha merely grunted, and laid down, resting his head in his hands, "Didn't have to tell me twice, I could smell that idiot coming a mile away"
Sango and Miroku sighed and sat back down. Kagome sighed, and buried her face in her hand. Kanesa looked at them, "Wait, shouldn't we be worried? Jewel Shards are coming our way!"
Kagome looked at Kanesa, "I forgot to tell you about another friend of mine"
The earth started to quake slightly, and a quick breeze picked up. All of a sudden, a small tornado busted through the trees. Kanesa and the others shielded their faces as the dirt cleared. Kanesa coughed, and looked to see what had caused the tornado. She gasped, and a slight blush rose to her cheeks when she saw what, or to be more precise, who was standing in the debris of the tornado.
